Location
Took this in Clover Hollow, which is located in Giles County, VA.Time
Nighttime, around 8:00 or 9:00 probably.Lighting
The warm lighting contrasted well with the snow and the sky, doing those pictures remind me of a Thomas Kincaid painting.Equipment
Canon t4i on a tripod, with a tokina 2.8 wide angle lens.Inspiration
I was looking for that contrast between warm and cold, and the church lit up provided that.Editing
Yes, used Lightroom and Photoshop.In my camera bag
Canon t4i, tokina wide angle lens, flashlights....occasionally a shutter release cable.Feedback
You want at least 10 seconds and a wide angle lens that can go as low as 2.8 at least. Moonlit nights and nights without moonlight both have their pluses and advantages.
